2. Thank You.


Yesterday, I participated in a seminar that focused on varied areas in life. Although it was not a part of the main topic, one point that touched me was about being thankful to people in life. Such thoughts have been shared and earlier been implemented at a few instances; today was a nice experience nonetheless.

I was riding on bike with no particular thought of being thankful and I passed by a traffic cops directing the traffic. Suddenly, I got connected to the words delivered in the seminar. I thought in my mind that as soon as I encounter the next cop, let me spend a few seconds thanking him.

It was around 500 meters and I saw a cop standing. I took the vehicle next to him. As he saw me approaching him, I assume that he must have assumed that I have come to ask about navigation to some place. I immediately took out my hand with a gesture that I am looking forward to shake his hand and to my surprise, immediately he shook. At the next movement of my wrist watch, I told him in a local language – I want to thank you. He was full of smiles on his face that has undergone a lot of pollution. The smile made his face glow. He just took the finger of his left hand and added – Thanks to the almighty.

I added – Almighty is the one we all should thank undoubtedly but you are the one I feel like thanking as you are doing your duty relentlessly and my heart goes for you. He probably loved that gesture and shook hands again.

Bidding adieu to him – I suffixed my greeting with his last name and he was overwhelmed. He kept looking at me till at least till I could see him in the rear mirror of the bike.
Hats off to the traffic cop, the entire fraternity and infinite people in my life who make my life happen. They are no less than the heartbeats and the breath.


Recommend you also try doing this and I am sure you will earn loads of true wealth. J
